ORNAMENTAL STOVE.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of Lett-ers Patent No. 516,617, dated March13, 1894.

Application led August 9. 1893.

T @ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, JAFEW S. VAN BUREN, of Albany, in the county ofAlbany and State of New York,have invented certain new and `usefulImprovements in Ornamental Stoves;

and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the inventlon, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it pertains to make and use it,

reference being had to the accompanying 1drawings, which form part ofthis specifica- My invention relates to improvements in ornamentalstoves, and it consists in the partlcular construction and arrangementof parts which will be fully described hereinafter and especlallypointed out in the claims.

The primary object of my invention is to produce a stove having an innercasing forming an ash pit, fire-pot and combustion chamber, and an outerornamental fret work caslng formed of several separate plates which areconstructed to be supported by the bottom of the ash pitindependently ofthe inner cas1ng to permit them being set up and removed withoutinterfering therewith, and the bottom of the ash pit constructed toallow free ingress of air between the lower ends of said casings.

A further objcctof my invention relates to certain details ofconstruction which will be fully described in this specification. I Inthe accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is avertical sectional view ofastove embodying my invention. Fig. 2, is a perspective view of thestove with the outer ornamental casing removed. Fig. 3, is a detachedplan vlew of the bottom of the ash pit.

A indicates the bottom of the ash pit which forms the base or supportfor the inner and outer casing independently. in the form of a panhaving an outwardly projecting horizontal flange B, surrounding thesides and back of its upper edge, the outer edge of the said iiangebeing curved downward as shown at b, to rest upon the upper edge of theornamental base C having feet D. As shown in Fig. 1, this base C isdeeper than the ash pan or bottom A, whereby the latter is supportedclear of the Iioor, and the bottom or pan Ais rectangular in plan, asshown in Fig. 3.

This bottom is SerialNo'.482|770. (Nomodel.)

i The horizontal or flat portionof ash pan flangeA Bis provided withperforations or openings E, preferably oblong in contour, while thefront end of the flange not having any flat portion is imperforate. Fromthis it will be seen that the base O is outside of the openings E. Theash pit G is oblong in plan and rests upon the ash pan having aninwardly projecting fiange c, which is narrow at the rear side thereof,and Wide at its front side, as shown in Fig. l, and for a purpose whichwill appear farther on. This pit has the lower edge of its rear wallresting upon the ash pan inside of the flange B and the openingstherein, while the front end over-reaches the corresponding point of thefront end of the pan, and rests thereon at about the point where theflange B begins to curve downward.

Placed upon the flange c, at the upper edge 7o of the ash pit is acircular Iire pot H, and supported upon the upper end of this tirepot isa casin g I forming a combustion chamber. The top or dome J of thiscombustion chamber has at its rear side an upwardly extending tubularportion K for the reception of a stove pipo, the rear side of whichprojects slightly beyond the side of said chamber and is provided witharegister or damper L, constructed t0 be operated from outside the outercasing. It will be seen that thus far I have described an operativestove without the addition of any other part-s. I will now describe theouter ornamental casing. The outer casing consists of front, side andrear plates M, of fret work to permit a free passage therethrough ofvthe heated air generated by the inner heating casing, the lower end ofthe side and rear walls 0r plates of said outer casing resting upon theflange B of the ash pan outside of the openings E, therein, andextending upward outside of the inner casing and separated therefrom asuitable distance to form an air space, while the front wall thereof hasits lower edge resting upon the front upper edge of the ash pit G,outside of and separated from the fire pot to form au air space.Attention is directed to the imperforate lower portions d, of the sideand rear walls of the ornamental casing opposite the ash pit, wherebycool air is taken from below the stove through the openings E, andbetween the por- IOO tion d, of the casing and ash pit, and delivered tothe lire pot where it is heated and then radiates outward throughthefret worked portion e, of the casing into the room. An

opening N is made in the front Wall of the outer casing for theprojecting door frame f, shown in Fig. 2. A fret work top or dome P isplaced over the upper end of the outer casing but separate therefrom,and has an opening Q through which the tubular portion K extends, andprojecting inward from this dome P, under the check damper L, is ahorizontal flange R. Formed in the top of the dome P is a centralopening S, over which is placed a swinging dome-shaped fret work coverT. From the above description it will be seen that I have constructed acomplete inner stove, and placed around this an outer casing which isentirely separate and independent therefrom and that the check damperand all other unsightly parts thereof are entirely inclosed by theornamental casing, while at the same time free ingress of fresh air, anda free egress of heated air is afforded.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. A stove com prisin g a base, an ash-pit having an external ange nearits bottom which rests upon said base, the fiange having openings in itssides and back at points inside of the said base, a fire pot and acombustion chamber supported upon the ash-pit, and an Outer fret Workcasing surrounding but separate from the ash-pit iirepot and combustionchamber and supported upon the base outside of the openings in theash-pit flange, substantially as shown and described.

2. A stove comprising a base, an ash-pit having a surrounding flangeresting upon the base and provided with openings in its sides and back,a tire pot and a combustion chamber supported upon the ashpit, combinedwith an outer ornamental casing having its rear and side Walls restingupon said flange outside of the openings therein, and the front wallstopping substantially at the top of said ash-pit, the said outer casinghaving an imperforate portion opposite the ash-pit, and provided withperforations opposite the repot and combustion chamber, whereby air isdrawn from the floor past the ash-pit around the fire-pot and combustionchamber and escapes through the outer casing into the room,substantially as described.

3. In an ornamental stove, the combination with a base, an ash-pithaving an external horizontal flange resting upon said base and providedwith openings in its side and back at points inside of the base, and atire-pot and combustion chamber, of an outer ornamental casingconsisting of separate detachable side and rear fret work platessupported outside of the said openings and independent of the innercasing, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
